About this role
Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. You bring passion and dedication to your job and there’s no telling what you could accomplish.
Apple’s Worldwide Communications team informs the world and Apple team members about the company, our innovative products and services, and the values that drive everything we do.

In this role, you will design, build, and maintain web pages and emails that enable a world-class communications organization to work at its best. You will also contribute to the development and enhancement of Apple’s internal news platform, email communications, and editorial experiences.
Beyond development, you will serve as day-to-day site lead, managing the publishing experience, working directly with editorial and creative teams to bring their visions to life on the web, ensuring content gets published to a high standard, as well as working closely with a partner engineering team for ongoing improvements. This includes light QA validation and testing ahead of new code releases.
